Operating Model and Trust Transfer

Cambridge City Council asked FEI to consider the options for a future operating model for their culture service including the 1,000 capacity Corn Exchange, Guildhall and world renowned Cambridge Folk Festival. Following our initial recommendation to transfer to a new charitable company, FEI worked with lawyers, Bates Wells Braithwaite to project manage the move from Council to charity. The FEI team wrote a detailed five-year business plan, recruited a Founding Chair, ten further Trustees and the Managing Director.
